You Jun e always done justice to Judgo Doug- hs, ns to Jlis services and ferity to th« South. Rut you liold he i,< unavailable, as nominee of the Charleston Convention. On this question I join issue with yon. You state, ‘.Ids boasted sttength-at the North is half a delusion.” tfso, bow comes it, that he Is the only prominent'Northern candidate f The people of the North are acute as to availa bility, because the patronage gf the Govern ent is mainly dispensed hi thaUqnarter.

What there is of it, will go to Douglas, in preference to ariybody‘.else, because he stands pledged to abide tlie adjustment of the slavery question made in 1850, and so repeated ly endorsed hy Democratic Conventions, lioth State and National. You state with the busi ness men of the North, Douglas “never had the reputation of a safe, and prudent statesman"; neither did Gcn’l Jackson—they moved heaven and earth to defeat old Jackson’s policy—de nounced him as a tyrant, and even threatened him with decapitation, until he told them, l>y the eternal, he would hang them as traitors.— They honestly thought tho old hero rash anil ilangerous. So they think,, (at least some of them) that Douglas is rash and ilangerous.— Douglas is very much like old Jackson. He was the pet of Old Hickory, and when about to die, he told his friends “the young giant of Illi nois avouIiI be tho prop and champion of the Democratic party." Tell mo not about a hold man Iwing dangerous. Wo want another Jack- son, of iron will and nerve, in the Presidency. One who will do what Douglas told the Alioii- tionists at Chicago, he would do, if President— "turn the Hying artillery on them, if Ufcy re sisted tlie fugitive slave" law.” After all, the commercial classes at llic-Norlli, whether tlioy like or dislike Douglas, will work hard and pay high -for his election, thnt tlieir business and.money making lie not disturheil So much, Mr. Clisby, in answer to your views. Now for my reasons, for holding that Douglas, is not only available, hut the only man the Democrats can elect 1 n the first place, lie is the representative man of all those Demo crats who stand hy tlieadjustnicnt of iUo emve- ry question, anil for leaving tlie question of slavery to lie settled hy the people of the Terri tories.’ Now, Southern _ ultras may abnegate this settlement jf tlioy jvill-*biit defeat, certain, and sure stare? them in the face.

Volume DOUGLAS’ .AVAIL ABILITY. “N.” in yesterday’s issue, published a very eloquent protest against our. views of Mr. Doug las’ avnilabity as a Presitlential canilitlate. We look U matters from differing stnml points, and arrive at a different roneinsion. Tho Telegraph believes that the election, if carried hy the Rem oeratic candidate at all,-must bo carried on a combination of the Conservative strength of the country ; and 'Douglas is not the pian on which Ahat strength.can be combined. **N".thinks Douglas has popularity enough to stave it thro’ Democratically.' We don’t agree, thcrelbre.

" WHITE AND BLACK SLAYFJtY. "Tin: Biuvisit “BLEAyiiEits". Bill—Once in awhile tho groans of the English factory opera tives reach the unwilling cars of Parliament, and a throb of humanity finds an abprtive man ifestation in some bill to suppress’this or that abuse, -Just now, the House of Commons have passed a bill to prohibit the employment, hy dyers and bleachers, of children under fourteen years of age. This has been ■ called out hy some horrid facts given in evidence before i committee of tlie House, of which Mr. Roebuck, speaking in support of the bijl, says: “There are some sentences in the hook now in my Iwnd which mako. my blood creep, and when the'honorable member gets up and tells me that the Manchester manufacturers are like, ly to suffer, I say, let them sutler." And again: “ L hcor great talk of humanity—lip human, ity! .(hear, hear,)—alxiut the American slave man-can view with more indignation than 1 do the horrible condition of the black in Amer ica ; hul l "cannot help regarding with at lcasl equal indignation the condition of the White slavo in England."- Just so: “the horrible condition of the black in America” is- ever Jlie foil to tho conscious and known want and- misery of the white lab oring "population, whether in . Europe or the Northern States., The whole anti-slavery world take Willing leave of their common sense, when you speak of as never willing to forgive Doug- they talk of American slavery. Tell us, Mr. lasjor his “ pro-slavtryism,” and" “repeal of Roebuck, what is the secret of the abuse of the tile fnmnrrimiftp 11 w ill fnw operatives in your factories? Why arc-they worked to deformity, disease and death ? There can, Of course, he bnt on© nn,w.r. Tluir on, ployers and masters wish to realize the greatest possible pecuniary profit out of the laborers. Work people are plenty—easily replaced with out pecuniary loss, if killed or missing — but rents, power, interest on investment, Ac., Ac., arc running on day and night, and as a point of simple money policy,- the operatives and the machinery should run, pari passu. That is the whole story, and the truth gf it cannot he gainsaid. _ • "A.' Now, Mr. Roebuck, do you suppose there would lie any need of ymir hill, or any occasion for your flesh to “creep” if yon could pecuniari ly interest the masters and proprietors of these factories to the extent of three hundred pounds sterling in the life and effective physical well being of each one of their operatives? Such a supposition is simply impossible. The amount gained per head on the unreasonable— the un due lalior of these miserable beings must lie very small—ajcoupleof shillings per diem, it may lie, more than a fair day’s work would produce, and yet wo see that for this littlo pittance the work of slow murder, which your hill is designed to present, is steadily goingon, without the slight est hesitancy or reluctance. It is therefore, the utter worthlessness of the lalmrers, in a pecu niary point of view, which is tho" reason why tlieir lives are sacrificed for a few shillings. If you could only elevate them to some appreria- iilc pecuniary value, their masters would be as cxrctul of them os they arc of their property— as- solicitous tliat tlieir workmen should lie in effective condition as that their, factory stock should pay dividends, for hotii interesls 1 wool, ‘ bo identical. ’ So simple a truth as this, one would think -ought to tie Comprehended by Kny child four years old; and yet Mr. Roebuck speaks abojit “the horrible condition of the blacks in Ameri ca,” asa set ofl’to the -condition of tho English operatives.

The idea so freely insisted on, that the iron rib bed Democracy of the North only, insist up on the exciting adjustment of the slavery ques tion, is a great, an egregious error. Tlie South stands hy, and abides it unless South Carolina Alabama, and Mississippi alijure it. If so. Douglas is the strong man of the Democracy, and I add tho only man, who has a party in every State, county, city village in the Union. ’ But again, Douglas is tlie great and control ling man ofthe Northwest II# early emigra ted to that sweeping ruling section. He lias grown up with it and seems to have reached giant mental proportions by drinking milk from its mighty udders. He too, has been its patron /mistical saint.

By his policy and liis plastic hands, its blazing States are fast shooting ahead of tlie mightiest and strongest of tho old thirteen, and westward our star of empire is taking its way. •* Dougins loves the people of the West and they love him.

Wc have been asked several times, how it happens that, when the Gubernatorial vote is so very close, there is so large a Republican ma jority in the House of Representatives, One reason is this: that there is a “rotten borough^’ system in operation in Connecticut, worse than any which exists, or perhaps ever did exist, in England. For instance, New Haven and Hart ford, with an aggregate population of 70,000, sendybur Representatives—two from each city. Many townships with less than] ,500 inhabitants, and one (Union) with only 720 according to thc last census, send also two Representatives bach. With the same ratio of representation to popu lation, New Haven and Hartford, instead of sending four Representatives, would send 40 or 5D; and with the system in vogue in most ofthe other New England States, of choosingby gen eral ticket, these 40 or.50 representatives would all be Democrats. Until within the last few years, the Aboli tionists of Connecticut always ran a separate ticket for State officers, and generally polled about 3,000 votes. These arc now all given to the Republican candidates, and so the Demo crats have to contend with the aggregate of both". There have been hut two years, in’'a long period when the Democratic vote exceeded the combined Opposition vote, and those were 1852 and 1853. Three or four years ago the Republicans and Nnow-Nothings got the Con stitution so altered as to prohibit any one from voting who cannot read and write. This;-they oiteulatoJ, would diefronohise a portion of thc Irish population, who arts mostly Democrats. Yet, in spite Of all these drawbacks, tho Demo crats, at the recent election, came within about 500 votes of swamping the whole posse comitalus of Republicans, Abolitionists, and Know-Noth ings combined.

HOUSTON ON PLATFORMS AND PARTIES. Tn advance of the meeting of thc Charles ton Convention, Gen. Sam: Houston-of Texas has written for publication a letter in which bo declares off from that assembly, and lays down nts own ideas urPiuiduitlal nominations. His theory is'positively beautiful, and he ex pounds it with a single-hearted fervor which ought to show how remote he is from all share in' thc political wickedness of this degenerate ago. Conventions have become, in his view of them, the engines of crafty politicians, who, under the pretence of giving expression to the popular will,'design and manage so as to con trol it Platforms are the special horror of the General.. They arc ambiguities, drest up-for thc purpose of gulling thc people in different sections, with opposite constructions. Nor is lie any better pleased with platforms which dc clared opinions not to be mistaken any where. This makes a creed of “orthodoxy to which all must submit'or be ©proscribed.” Am biguity is fraud, and directness is tyranny. T8 compromise any opinions or measures, in order to secure q union of action, upon one candidate, is an unmitigated evil, which is preparing the way to demoralize the people and ruin the re public. To declare any principles, and require r adherence to them, is to create a party, and make the President elect thc candidate and re presentative of a party; and this is making a tool and not an Executive, and this is also a forerunner of public decay. "With principles and without principles. Conventions, ore the abominations, and platforms and parties new thc bane ofthe country.—X O. Picayune. _ “NOT RELIGIOUSLY EDUCATED.” . The Christian Observer, speaking of the prayer ofthe Jewish Rabbi Raphall in Congress, says: • Tlie Rabbi is spoken of as a very affable and pleasant as well .as a teamed man. Ono pf the editors of tlie “Presbyterian Witness” says that “in 1840 we crossed tho Atlantic on thc same vessel with Dr. Raphall, then on his way to this country. It was proposed one day by an, Eng lishman that wc ask him to give his opinion, as Rabbi, in regard to thc lawfulness of slavery, as determined by tho Old Testament or law of Moses.” We were struck with his reply. .lie said the Scriptures sanctioned slavery, and then added, ‘(There arc tho6C who do not bclifvc in tho lawfulness of slavery, but they are persons who have not been religiously, educated. SUPERIOR COURT. On Friday last a caso against tho Western & Atlantic Kail Road was brought before this tribunal. Thu Hon. Henry R. Jackson, and Win.

Tho point involved in the case was the failure to prove the assent of tlie Governor to thc contract, as required by the Statute of 1S5L Col. Jack- son and detiratfenreid argued very, ably that tho Statute should be construed liberally. J uuge - OT Bull ruled against them, and a verdict was taken for the State, anil Plaintiffs appealed. ^tetania Intelligencer. H is generally thought that when a vessel is full of water, any solid substance immciscd in it will cause it to overflow, and such will lie thc case if the substance is not soluble in the water; but the philosophic truth, that in dis solving a body you do not increase tlie volumo of the solvent, may be proved by a simple and interesting experiment Saturate a certain quantity of water, at a moderate heat, with three ounces of sugar; and when it will no longer receive that, there is room in it for two ounces of salt of tartar, and after that for one ounce and a drachm of green vitriol, nearly six drachms of niter, the same quantity of sal am moniac, or smelling salts, two drachms and a scruple of aliun, and a drachm and a ha f of borax—when all these are dissolved in it, it will not have increased in volume.
